KOTA KINABALU: Political observers express skepticism on whether the recently passed anti-party hopping law will effectively halt defections among elected representatives.
After surviving a fraught two years under three different governments, Malaysian lawmakers finally pulled the trigger on a long-awaited move this week. In a bid to ensure improve the nation's political stability, their parliament passed a bipartisan bill to make defections illegal.
KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has no objection to tabling the anti-hopping bill at the State Legislative Assembly and further discussions is needed for this to happen, said the coalition's secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
